Africa’s combined economies are predicted to grow at 7% over the next two decades. This is faster than China. However, the significant economic growth rates evident in many African countries are unsustainable without massive energy investments. The opportunities and challenges provide an exciting future for those engaged in Africa’s power market and AEF 2013 provides all key stakeholders an opportunity to discuss how they can work together to close the current power gap and meet future electricity demands.

Now in its 15th year, the Africa Energy Forum has established its reputation as the annual meeting place for Africa’s power executives.

Africa Energy Forum 2013
The Africa Energy Forum (AEF) is the annual meeting place where global players from the energy industry meet with African governments, utilities and regulators to engage in dialogue aimed at collectively driving forward the development of Africa’s power sector. It is held in a different European city every year, enabling international investors to easily meet with Africa’s key stakeholders.

The Africa Energy Forum has an established reputation for delivering valuable content combined with the highest standards of service and care. It is this reputation which has enabled AEF to retain a loyal annual following of delegates, sponsors and partners as well as attracting consistent growth every year from new business markets.

The Programme
Where is the growth in the power sector? What is the preferred fuel choice? Who will provide power? How will power expansion be financed? AEF’s programme invites experts to examine the recent success in the African power sector and puts participants face to face with government officials, CEOs and experts to analyse policies and investment decisions in country focused meetings.

The Marketplace
All the players in the industry attend. If you want to meet new or old clients and make business deals, you have to attend the Africa Energy Forum. The AEF Exhibition has become noted for its effectiveness for networking - It is where the business is done, where the participants socialize.

The Participants
AEF brings 75% of Africa together under one roof, providing a unique platform to discuss the continent's power sector as opposed to individual African countries. Over 130 CEOs and 750 international financiers and partners in the energy sector attended AEF 2012.

French simultaneous interpretation will be available in the Plenary Room only during the conference.
